If you have decided to stay in your current home, and physical modifications or services are necessary to allow you to live with comfort and mobility, our Design to Stay specialists can help. They will create a safety assessment guide and listen to your needs and wants, what you like about your current home and your frustrations. Then they will create a plan specifically designed to enable you to have the lifestyle you want to have. Once you approve the plan, we will work closely with contractors who are experienced in making appropriate changes to homes.
Our Design to Stay professionals can help you right size your belongings and distribute the things you do not want: sending them to family members or charities of your choice, selling them or putting them into storage. We will work with you to achieve your lifestyle needs by:
Developing an Understanding of Your Needs:
• interviewing you to understand current lifestyle, likes, dislikes, frustrations with the current living situation, and needs for daily living
• understanding what you are looking for
• creating a home safety guide to determine potential risks
• identifying opportunities to make your home more comfortable and convenient
Creating an Action Plan:
• one which identifies changes to your home, products and services to make your home safer and more comfortable to stay in, and steps to take to get to the goal
Making the Plan Happen:
If you make the decision to stay we will put together a “Design to Stay” proposal which identifies:
• resources to complete the project; product suppliers, contractors, and installers and other professionals
• services to add to your home; housekeeping, lawn care, handyman, companion care, in-home medical care, transportation, errands and pet care and other service providers you may need
• schedules for product and service providers
• management of product and service providers
• tasks which need to be done and the order of completion
• due dates of each of the tasks
• costs of each task
We will manage the project from beginning to end, making sure all of the products and services you choose are in place.
